I've loved Robin's outfit and color-scheme since I was a kid. It's one of those outfits I've always wanted to make. When I started reading the Robin comics earlier this year, I decided to finally make a Robin costume.

I based my costume on the third and fourth Robins. Robin III is Tim Drake and Robin IV is Stephanie Brown. Yes, there was a girl wonder! Her time as Robin was unfortunately short, but she existed and she was awesome! I never really decided whether I wanted to make Tim Drake or Stephanie Brown, so I merged the two. I love them both~ I borrowed more from Steph, and I'd be cosplaying Steph if I could pull off blond hair. The art in the comics is really inconsistent (sometimes on the same page!), so I had a lot of freedom to play with the design.

I made every part of this costume except for the boots (and when I say I made everything, I really do mean *everything*), and I patterned the entire costume from scratch. This costume took me over two months to figure out and make, but it was totally worth it in the end. I'm really proud of it, and being able to run around as the Girl Wonder is like a dream come true! X3

A big thanks to ~Elemental-Sight for the sweet photo shoot! This is my favourite photo from the set. My friend Becky and I joke that I was channelling my inner Chris O'Donnell. XD;;

If you're interested, photos of my DCU-related costumes can be found here. :3

Very awesome job! That photo is very cool! I want to do some action shots with my Superman costume like that. I totally agree with songofafreeheart in that your cape is really well done! I hand-sewed my cape, so I know how much time it takes to get it right.

You're very welcome, and thank you for the awesome comment. I tried to have someone else make a cape for me, but it didn't turn out the way I wanted. I didn't have a sewing machine to use, and really wanted an awesome cape worthy of the costume, so I guess pure determination got me through.

your Robin rocksI don't know if I asked u already do u do commission work cause my daughter would look great in this Robin costume and she abso loves panicatthediscojust let me know somethingthx/later/BatZman/Bruce

Unfortunately, I don't take commissions. I'm not a trained seamstress, and in any event, I'm working so I don't have the free time I'd need. In case it helps you for reference, my Robin costume took me just over two months and cost ~$300 in materials. Thank you for the interest though! I'm sorry I can't help you!

I hope your daughter gets to dress up as Robin! We need more Girl Wonders out there! ;3

I thought I'd seen you on dA! I was so happy to see this in person at Youmacon - always been a huge Robin fan, and it made my weekend to snap a quick photo of you. Awesome costume, and that cape is gorgeous!

Aww, thank you! This is such a sweet comment! ♥ It means a lot to me that you looked me up on DA!

Your pins are so cool! X3 My friends and I were squeeing about how awesome your pins were after the con when we realized we all had bought some. And thank you soooo much for the custom one! It's amazing! *loves* ♥♥♥

You look TERRIFIC! Great cosplay! Since you are Robin I can trust you with this. I'm really Batman. Meet me at the Batcave at midnight. (for security purposes I have moved the entrance to the cave to room 113 at the Bates Motel)
